Yield: 6-8 Servings

45 45 90

Ingredients

2-1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples
4 tablespoons butter, divided

Directions

Place the sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until tender. Drain. When cool enough to handle, peel potatoes and cut into 1/2-in. slices.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, walnuts, cinnamon and salt; set aside. In a large skillet, saute apples in 2 tablespoons butter for 3-4 minutes or until tender. In a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish, layer half of the sweet potatoes, apples and brown sugar mixture. Repeat layers.
Dot with remaining butter. Cover and bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 15 minutes longer or until bubbly. Yield: 6-8 servings.
